Here are my thoughts on spare parts
I used to carry lots of spares for just about everything as we camp in the backwoods, hours from anywhere that might have parts.
And invariably when I actually needed a part, either I didn't have exactly what I needed, or the part was now so old (like the diaphragm in a regulator or pump) that it was also no good.
So I stopped carrying all those extra 'just in case' parts. I have lots more room in storage for other good junk. I do carry fasteners and lots of tools.
And honestly, every time we have had an equipment failure while in the backwoods, we have always managed a work around, so didn't have to cut a trip short.
